Chapter 1861 1869 [Please continue your Uzo behavior]
"President Rokujo is trying every means to recruit you to his company. His position is right next to yours. You know his personality and mentality very well." Jiang Xia looked at Naoko Torimaru:
"At this time, as long as you state that you are allergic to grapes and cannot drink the wine in the glass, and say something like 'It's a pity to waste such an expensive wine', the other party will take the initiative to drink the poisoned wine for you to please you, creating the illusion that you have 'escaped death'.
"Also, I heard that President Inozuka had selected several venues for the competition, and the reason why he finally decided on that villa was because of your suggestion. The lobby manager of that villa happened to be your childhood sweetheart and knew that you were allergic to grapes. After the incident, he revealed this fact and testified for you, which would make people less suspicious."
Naoko Torimaru took a deep breath. As a person who was good at manipulating other people's mental states, she felt very uncomfortable with the situation where others could see through her inner thoughts.
She could only try her best to stay calm: "Physical evidence, I said I only look at the physical evidence..."
"There is also physical evidence." Jiang Xia took a photo and said, "Do you remember this?"
Naoko Torimaru looked closely and found that the photo showed a pure white wedding dress. It looked very familiar. It was the "death shroud" she had tailored for herself according to her figure.
Naoko Torimaru frowned: The material of this wedding dress is not very sticky for fingerprints. Even if there were, she tried on the dress in front of the police after the incident, so it is not strange that there are any things related to her left on it.
So why did the detective suddenly take out the wedding photos?
Naoko Torimaru said cautiously: "I see, what's wrong with this wedding dress?"
"It matches your size perfectly." Jiang Xia said something that Torimaru Naoko couldn't understand, "But I remember you said at the time that you didn't tell anyone else your data."
"Are you trying to say that, because only I know my body data, I am the 'funeral silver coin' that made this wedding dress?" Torimaru Naoko was puzzled, and felt that this detective had a bad memory at such a young age:
"I really haven't told anyone my size, but another thing was also mentioned at the scene. Our company customizes uniforms for employees every year, and the measurement data is put into disks and sealed in the company headquarters. As long as 'Funeral Silver Coin' steals those disks, he can control the body data of anyone in our company at any time, including me of course."
Jiang Xia nodded as if he had finally heard what he wanted to hear: "According to the police's subsequent investigation, a total of three disks from your company were lost, namely the 'と' disk containing your name classification, and the 'い' disk and 'き' disk containing the names of the other two people."
As he spoke, he looked at Naoko Torimaru, with a strange look in his eyes that was difficult to read.
Naoko Torimaru felt her back crawling when he looked at her. She always felt like something was out of her control. She finally couldn't control her temper anymore: "What on earth do you want to say?! Stop hesitating. If you have something to say, just say it quickly!"
Jiang Xia saw that the murderous aura on her body had expanded again, so he retracted his quietly drawn-out tone and said seriously: "It's like this, 'Funeral Silver Coin' made a pitiful and funny mistake - these three disks don't have your body data at all, only the data of the other two deceased, Kiriyama Sayoko and Inukai Yosuke."
"..." Naoko Torimaru was stunned, "Impossible! I clearly participated in the last measurement!"
"Indeed, this is not your problem. The problem lies with an insignificant passerby." Jiang Xia took a transparent evidence bag, which contained another unfamiliar disk. "This is the 'か' disk that was not stolen. Unfortunately, your data... was mistakenly entered into this disk by a careless employee."
Boom——
As if thunder exploded in her head, Naoko Torimaru's face twisted for a moment: "..." There was no reason for the detective to lie to her about this matter. Could it be really, really...
In front of her, Jiang Xia took out a folded paper from somewhere and unfolded it in front of Torimaru Naoko: "This is the information printed from this disk."
Naoko Karasuma walked towards him uncontrollably and grabbed the paper. When he looked closely, he saw that her name was written as "Naoko Karasuma".
"乌" and "鸟" are pronounced differently, and because of the one-letter difference in the first letter, her data was transferred from the "と" disk to the "か" disk. And she didn't even notice it.
Jiang Xia looked at her expression and said, "'鸟' and '乌' are only different by a horizontal line, and your company's address is on '乌丸路'. The person who input the data may be used to the name '乌丸', so when he entered your last name, he entered '鸟丸' instead of '乌丸' without thinking.
"'Funeral Silver Coin' failed to steal your data from the headquarters, but successfully made clothes that completely matched your size. Based on what you said before, you are the only one who knows your size, so it is not difficult to confirm the identity of Funeral Silver Coin."
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said, "Also, you may have overlooked an important thing. Technology is advancing. The front desk of that hotel has long been equipped with surveillance cameras. In order to prevent guests from feeling uncomfortable when seeing the cameras, they are installed quite covertly.
"This hotel is just deliberately pursuing an old-school style, but it doesn't really let the internal technology stagnate. Do you know how clearly the details of the key can be magnified by the cutting-edge surveillance now? The key will gradually get more and more tiny dents and scratches on it after being used for a long time and colliding with other things in your pocket. The scenes of you returning and taking away the key will also be clearly recorded."
“…”
Torimaru Naoko's mind was in turmoil. Finally, she clenched the paper in her hand and lowered her head silently.
It was helpless to lose to the ever-changing cameras, but apart from that, she actually lost in such details...
"It's really unlucky. If I had known there were such careless employees in the company, I might not have ended up like this."
Torimaru Naoko sighed softly. She didn't fall to her knees like the previous criminals, but she didn't seem to have the energy to continue to argue. "The planning, using Masumi to kill people... all of this was done by me."
The lobby manager looked at her and couldn't help showing a sad expression.
But there was another person present who was even more sad.
Hashimoto Maya pinched her forehead silently: "..." Stop saying this kind of thing, the more you say it, the less like Uzo... Just say some lines that Uzo should say, I beg you!
